CanWest Farms Ltd. — Attraction in Richmond

Today is the first time we go to CanWest farm for blueberry picking and will be the last as well. For all the years my family do blueberry picking in Richmond, today is the first time that I was charged for the admission fee. When I asked what's the admission fee for, the guy said because they have the best blueberries. In honest comparison, the blueberries are so so. They are neither bigger nor sweeter compare to the other farms that we went before. When I asked why it's not in their website abut the fee, he said it's probably not updated. So I asked when when did they start charging the admission fee, he said "just today." Dahh... I didn't find any sign anywhere about the admission fee even on the U pick signage. I don't quite understand why they charge $3 per adult. That's the cost for 2 lbs of blueberries you pick. So unless an adult can eat 2 lbs of berries while you pick, then it's worth to pay the fee. Otherwise, a rip off as for my personal opinion. if I knew about the admission fee, I could have just buy the picked one in the box for it cost about the same with no...

This is one of the worst blueberry farms that I have ever been to. First of all, the staff here is terrible. I went blueberry picking on BC day and when I arrived in the morning the staff looked almost annoyed that I was here to pick blueberries. The South Asian male kept acting superior and annoyed. Almost as if he didn’t want to talk or deal with me.

Furthermore, when I was looking at the cherries the male staff member was rolling his eyes at two women who clearly did not understand English. He did not bother trying to explain the instructions of the blueberry picking, but basically yelled at the women inferring that they were stupid. Later on, when he handed a refund to them he SLAMED it on the table. I have never seen such horrible customer service.

In conclusion, the blueberries were small and the staff that was there that day were terrible. I will never come back or recommend this farm. This was a...

I feel like such a sucker. Terrible products. Read the reviews and thought it would be a good place to go. The farmers market is nothing more than a corner store with cheap products. I bought a bag of Okanagan cherries but they must have been D grade or something. Half the bag was rotten. Couldn't see it was that bad because it looked good on the outside (bad ones were hidden in the middle). Just washed them all and threw half of them into the compost. Moldy, half rotten, etc... Just gross. Also bought Okanagan apricots and they were mostly sour. Again, i'm stuck thinking they bought low grade products and pawned them off in their in house 'farmers market'. Finally, bought a case of blueberries. Decent product but the case I bought elsewhere were definitely better. My wife was the first to comment that last year's case was much sweeter. overall, very...
